Paper whites, pine cones, cranberries and votive candles all make nice additions to a length of garland placed down the center. This also keeps the centerpiece low so that guests can easily see across the table.

These ideas focus on items you may easily find around your home this season or around the corner at a flower shop. If succulents are difficult to find then experiment with other single large blossoms that might be at your local flower shop (I think red or green Gerberas Daisies would also be great!). And beyond coffee and cranberries, you can experiment with just about any dried beans or legumes you can find at the grocery store.
